EA is something like a brand, and you should be somewhat careful about how you communicate about EA in order to not harm the brand (Thinking like this helped me understand why it was not an universally accepted truth that everybody should tell everybody about EA by all means and immediately. I think a lot of new people in EA go through this “tell everyone” phase, because EA can be super exciting.)
Can you elaborate on this a little bit? What should I not be telling people?
What I think I had in mind writing this: Imagine you have newly realized that donations actually save lives, and that (unnecessary) purchases can be converted to dead child currency, and have started donating all you can to save all the children you can.
I don’t think in this case it’s a good idea to start telling everyone around you that using their money for leisure is the same as killing children and that EA can show this is true. I think this would harm the EA brand, and it would be better to keep your head cool and think about best communication strategies (eg. to increase donations) in collaboration with other EAs around you.

I see. Thanks for the response!
